RE: Reversing the order of a spoolfile so it prints "backwards"

["Eric Graeb" <egraeb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try doing something like this in a CL:

(note: untested)
Set the initial page to an inordinately high page number - 99999

Chgsplfa save(*yes)

:nextpage
chgvar initpage = initpage-1

if initpage = 0 goto end

Chgsplfa strtpage= initpage endpage = initpage
*/*File &1 number &2 attributes not changed. */*
Monmsg CPF3341 goto nextpage

Rlssplf
*/* release and wait for it to print */*
Dlyjob(30)
Goto nextpage    

:end

Subject: Reversing the order of a spoolfile so it prints "backwards"

Gang,

I have an application that creates spoolfiles that contains logical
pages of our bills.   I'm looking for a utility or slick way of
"reversing" the logical bill pages so they print out in reverse order.  
Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Dave Odom
